These tales speak to the discrepancy between men’s longing for a woman unfettered by social mores and their attempt to control her by domesticating her.

The old ""to keep a man, you must be a maid in the living room, a cook in the kitchen and a whore in the bedroom" cliche?

It was a Christian book on how a man feels emasculated by a fierce woman for a wife, and how she must learn not to be fierce because he is the Man and it is his feelings that count. Jesus said so. And his Dad.
Ugh. I’ve been reading lots of historical stuff with a view especially to womanhood. Related: My rage lately could power suns.
